As a wise man once said, ‘the world is a book and those who don’t travel read only one page’. By living and working in a country, you get the opportunity to really soak up the culture and way of life; there is a big difference between being a tourist, and being a traveller!

Teaching English as a Foreign Language is a brilliant opportunity to work in exciting new places while inspiring others to learn a new language.

TEFL courses for all

One size does not fit all when it comes to TEFL. This is why we have designed various course types for our diverse range of students. Whether you’re a qualified teacher or a complete beginner, there is something for everyone. From a 20 hour weekend classroom TEFL course to a combined classroom and online 150 hour Premier TEFL course, we cater for the needs of our students.

It’s worth bearing in mind that the majority of TEFL employers abroad require potential employees to have passed a minimum of 120 hours of TEFL training. If you’re looking to wow employers and open doors to the top TEFL jobs, our Premier courses are definitely worth considering!

Final teaching practice

Q3. How many people will there be in the Leeds TEFL classroom course?

A: There is a maximum class capacity of 20 and a minimum of 5 people per classroom.

Q4. Do I need a degree to do TEFL?

A: You do not need a degree to do TEFL. However, when it comes to finding employment abroad, certain countries require a BA or equivalent degree in order to gain a working visa.

Q5. Which TEFL course is right for me?

A: TEFL is generally measured by the number of hours you study for; the more hours you study for, the higher your qualification. In addition to being more prepared and confident when entering a classroom, you will also be more attractive to employers when looking for work if you have studied for longer in TEFL. So if you do not have a degree or have not taught before it is usually advisable to do a longer course if at all possible.

Employers will ask for varying levels of qualifications but that is the same as in any industry, some organisations look for more experienced individuals than others. However, most schools are happy to take on new teachers and there are lots of opportunities available.

Our approach

It’s hands on! We believe that it’s so much more effective to be involved in practical activities rather than just listening to somebody lecturing at you. This is why during your TEFL course in Leeds, you will be kept on your toes with activities and games to help you retain the information you learn.

The weekend course gives you the chance to create your very own TEFL lesson and deliver it to your peers. You will also be able to observe the rest of your class delivering lessons and have the opportunity to offer feedback to help them improve.

Our classroom courses are attended by a wide range of people, including school leavers, recent graduates, university students, career changers and retirees!
